GRAIN MEN KICK.
The attempt of the Minneapolis ele-
yator men to induce the warehouse
commission to make the Duluth wheat
inspection even more rigid than it is at
present, has aroused some indignation
among the Duluth grain dealers. Pres
ident Fargusson says 1T was simply an
other Minneapolis attempt to injure
Duluth, but 1T was really beneath
the dignity of the Duluth board to take
any notice of it. Another prominent
member of the board said: ''Minneap-
oils need not trouble herself about Du-
luth inspection. The attempts to stiffe1l
Duluth grades is only done to try and
divert grain to Minneapolis. Minneap-
oils does not have to grind Duluth
wheat. Let her establish her own grades
more firmly and she will get much bet
ter market. These fellows down there
pick out gilt-edged carloads and have
them graded No. hard, and then get
the rest graded No. 1 Northern and
dumped into, the elevator. Then they
turn around and buy this Northern
grain, and grind it up as if it were No.
l hard. Duluth No. hard is perfectly
satisfactory to New York, and [ was in

waukee, who is a wheat inspector him.

are perfectly satisfactory to all Eastern
markets." Vice President A. d. Thom-
son received the following telegram
from j. A. Adams, formerly of Duluth,
but no formal action was taken upon It:
From j. Q. Adams, Minneapolis. to A d.
Thompson: please note what Minneapolis
men said to grain commissioners here yes

very important Duluth should protest against
any change in the Duluth inspection. If
inspection is now made more severe at Du-
luth it will work injustice to US who have

are perfectly satisfied with eargoes of new
Duluth wheat. This place would naturally
like to have your inspection made more
rigid, because it wonld help the track sample
business here greatly.
The general feeling among the trade
here seems to be that Minneapolis is
thoroughly scared of Duluth, and that
this movement is simply an attempt to
divert new wheat from this market. but
that it will not succeed.
